Trimming your media
If you have selected a Video Clip, Slideshow, or Featured Video to feature in your design, you can adjust which specific part of the media you wish to display. Hover over the media item, then click on the three dots icon and select to Trim video.
In the editor, you can adjust video length by editing the Trim start and Trim end times, or by adjusting the markers on the timeline. You can see the current duration of your edit under Trim length.
Timeline Control
Drag the vertical marker or the colored range selector to scrub through the video, and drag either end of the colored range selector to adjust the duration.
You can also click on the boxes under Trim start and Trim end to adjust the duration.
Keyboard Shortcuts
When selecting the timeline:
Press Spacebar to control playback
Press left/right arrow key for fine seeking to the next .01s
Press shift + left/right arrow key for larger jumps to the next 1.00s
When typing exact times into the input fields:
Press up/down arrow key for fine seeking to the next .01s
Press shift + up/down arrow key for larger jumps to the next 1.00s
Save
Once you’ve made your edits, click + Save to save your changes to the media. This won’t adjust or affect the original media, only the version displayed on the Gallery Cover or Scene Header. Alternatively, you can click + Save and duplicate if you want to create different videos. For example, if you have a long Featured Video, you can create three separate smaller videos to highlight in a 3-image gallery cover.
Click on the three dots and select the Trim video option again if you want to adjust the video, including restoring it to its original version.
